" A new field of petty thieving has been developed here by the stealing of the little iron chips on the street car rails known as the bond wires. For some time the electric car people have been on the lookout for the thief, and this morning he proved to bs a little negro named Joe Burton. A police man caught him in ihe act of trying to sell a large bundle of the wires, prized from the rails, to a junk dealer. A conscience fund lias been started by the Greensboro Electric Co.

The crop esti mating board of the Agricultural de partment estimates increase cf cotton acreage to be 6 per cent over last year. Average condition growing crop May 25th was 84 per cent compared w ith 77 year ago. Ten year average haa been ninety. North Carolina is 5 pe cent increase in acreage, rendition 79. E. Latham & Co's. Weekly Cotton Utter. Special to JbiiRNAL. - Greensboro, N. C, June 2. Since last week a decline has taken place, ap proximating cents a pound on the sum mer, and 1 cents a pound on the winter positions. The decline ia largely the result of a certain bull clique in New York selling out their heldings to "dear public," and it is believed have sold heavily short, especially of the summer months. Next Monday the govern ment will publish i report which will give the acreage planted in cotton, and the condition of the growing crop. There was considerable fraud in the gov ernment report a year ago, and in con sequence Monday's report will not have the respect or confidence it would usual ly command. Many leading cotton houses and several commercial news papers have mide acreage estimates ranging from 1 to 10 per cent, but the bulk seems to be slightly under 5 per cents. Our personal information leads us to say that the figuees given in uur circular of April 23rd, we still believe in, and regardless of what others aay, we believe the acreage now devoted to cotton is practically the same aa in 1904, which according to the government fig ures was 31,730,000 acres. Considera bly more fertilizers have been used than eor before andlwe believe that the stands, and the general condition of the plant at this date, ia much better than an average, if not indeed quite equal to any previous year. The conditions in North Carolina are leas favorable than any other State. This is our opinion Of the crop as it stands today, but we wish to assure our friends that this brilliant start does not insure a large yield. Any change therefore in crop conditions will show deterioration. Thereis a little less brilliancy to the trade outlook, but the spindles of the world continue to hum and we believe are running on full time, except where scarcity of labor la the hindrance.' Spinners continue to buy freely, but the demand ia mostly for high grades. Practically , Unanimous tor f homis.

SLAUGHTER HOUSE EXPOSURE Sickening Dlecloeurseol Beel Trust Packing. How Can People Eat Meat. (Special Correspondence.) Washington, D. C. June 4. The most interesting subject .before Con gress and the country at present is that of the exposure of the outrageous con ditions which prevail in the great slaughtering and packing houses of the West and possibly "of the East. In fact all other questions are for the time ob scured by this and there is little doubt but that other business in Congress will be put aside for the enactment of legislation that will look toward im proving the situation there.

A Mix Up of Factional Lead ers. Blackburn Denlee Being Target Far Harden Pistol. To Whom Don Chairman Adams Belong. Holton Too Vigorous Is Prosecuting Republican Distillers. (Special Correspondence) Greensboro, June 2. Congressman Blackburn was here last night on his way from Ashe and Wilkes cour ties to Wfhintn-. H ftT had gained circulation that R. H. Har- UC" I The fact t were he said, that he was in i. . . . iL ' , , . Har den in the third story and that Harden or Home one else fired out of the win dow of a room on the third story. At the Bepublican county convention in Wilkes Monday, it is said that i Blackburn made five speeches before he secured the nomination of the ticket he had determined to put through ;. . In his main speech, he is reported to have denounced the district attorney, the Federal court and all connected with prosecution of h.mself and those distillers and revenue officers who 1 were under indictment or had been con- victed in the Federal court. He par ticularly paid his respects to Marshal Millikan for sending a Buncombe cour- '",-""-6 " " " county man to Wilkesboro as a resident ' ,i. - U 18 reported that a whoop followed a question asked the speaker. If if H7QO turAntr fni- Rnnpnmhp tfl fur- . , , . nish a deputy marshal, wasn't it worse for Greensboro to furnish a Congress man for the eighth iistrict. The report that Blackburn was going to fuse with Chairman Adams and quit his fight on the organization cer tainly must have been a mistake. Blackburn is keeping up his hot fusi- ' " mv a lade on the organization hitting it by beating on Butler s tough political hide. The rumor here that Assistant Dis trict Attorney H. H. Price has re signed and that ex-Judge A. Coble of Statesville has been named aa assistant district attorney, is being talked of as another great Blackburn triumph. If the report is true, it must be a sore disappointment to Mr. J. J. Britt, of Asheville, who has been in training for the place. It had been generally un derstood that Judge Coble had not been in Bympatny witn District Attorney Holton in the prosecution of prominent Republican officials and distillers charged with frauds against the gov ernment, and was considered a critic of the anti-Blackburn wing of the organ ization. If this be true, the naming of Coble of the eighth district instead of Britt of the 10th, who had been especially em ployed to assist in the revenue frauds prosecutions and in the prosecution of Blackburn himself in connection with the resignation of Price, who had a standing notice to Blackburn with the resignation of Price, not to Jspeak to him under a penalty of a thrashing, it does look a little like Bluckburn has reason to claim this latest development as a victory. Those supposed to know about such matters here express entire ignorance of any resignation on the part of Price or the naming of Coble aa his successor. It is hardly probable that any one, not in thorough sympathy with District Attorney Holton's efforts to purify the revenue service, would be named by him as his assistant and if Judo-e Coble has been appointed, it ' necessarily gives the lie to reports that he belonged to the Blackburn and anti-. Butler wing of the party. It has become known that at the meeting of the State Republican exe-' cutive committee here last Saturday, j not only were Blackburn and Holton ( voting together ona time, but they were both completely run over by the ma- j jority of the committee. Their first move was in opposition to the resigna-; tion of Rollins, ex-Atiorney ueiierm Walser making a strong legal argument it ia said against the authority of the committee to elect a successor and all ' but ha commanded only three votes of the committee. A curious phase of the mix up among the discordant factiona of the leaden of the party ia that while Blackburn Rails for collector in Hardens place, Politically speaking, the district at torney has himself fallen outside the hrautarorka. his viaroroua prosecutions of so many prominent Republicans who have furnished the sinews of war for tgSFBlEZ estly if covertly resented all along down th lme especially by I - Committemaa Duncan, who nnmmitteman Duncan, who really . rules the roost in' North Carolina Re- publican management.
